Moving a container from China to the EU takes at least five customs filings. This guide follows a real Shanghai-to-Germany scenario step by step — export declaration, ENS, arrival notification, NCTS T1 transits and final import — with a stage-by-stage summary table.

Ocean rates change faster than any other mode — GRIs, surcharge stacks and crisis premiums can double costs overnight, as the March 2026 Hormuz surcharges showed. This guide compares seven rate management platforms across three categories: market intelligence (Xeneta, Freightos Terminal), operational quoting (Freightify, Okargo, Cargofive) and marketplaces (SeaRates, Freightos.com). It covers what each does well, how they price, which questions to ask before a demo, and the most common mistake forwarders make when choosing.

Space transportation is becoming the unofficial sixth mode of global logistics. This guide breaks down what it costs to send cargo to space in 2026 — from Falcon 9's $3,245 per kilogram to Falcon Heavy's $1,520 and the $7,000/kg rideshare program — along with the hidden costs of orbit, insurance, and integration. Written from a freight forwarder's perspective, it draws parallels with LCL shipping, dead freight, and no-show penalties, and looks ahead to the Starfall capsule and the rise of reverse space logistics.
